Interview with Mladen Milicevic

Here on "The Room Fansite"

But I can just cut and paste the thing here.

Exclusive Q & A with composer, Prof. Mladen Milicevic!

The catchy music stays with you. You hum it in your car, at the office, in the shower. That haunting, romantic score to THE ROOM which sounds a little like a Harry Potter porn film. We got an exclusive interview with composer, Prof. Mladen Milicevic who helped give the film its distinctive tone. He's a professor at Loyola Marymount University and knew the film would be a hit from the start. Read on (and yes, it's real)!

TRF- Were you able to view the 'The Room' in entirety before composing the soundtrack?
MM – Yes!

TRF – What about the 'The Room' inspired the theme for the music?
MM – Tommy's accent!

TRF – The music definitely has a renaissance sound to it. What inspired you to go with something classical, over something more modern?
MM – Tommy said that 'The Room' resembled 'The Street Car Named desire'

TRF – Did you work closely with Tommy Wiseau on the creation of the music?
MM – Yes! He sat next to me.

TRF – Did Tommy give you any specific direction on the theme?
MM – Absolutely!

TRF – We have to admit, the theme song is incredibly catchy – we often find ourselves humming it at work. Was this intentional?
MM – I did not compose the songs, I just did the background score.

TRF – There are times where the music is foreboding, and dark. What inspired this?
MM – At times the story gets scary. Like when we find out about the breast cancer.

TRF – Are you surprised by the renewed success of the 'The Room'?
MM – Not at all! It was apparent from the moment I saw the film that it is going to be a big hit. Tommy knew it from the beginning.

TRF – Have you ever been to a midnight screening at the Laemle theater on Sunset?
MM – Several times! Those are my most memorable visits to the movie theatres.

TRF – Are there fans at Loyola who ask you to sign their 'The Room' soundtrack cds?
MM – No, but a lot of my students have seen 'The Room'

Thoughts....

• Love how the site had to specify that this was real...because it sure seems like a joke
• When they mention they like the opening theme (which is the piano bit, right?) he corrects them that he only did the background music.  So, who composed the piano bit - which, btw plays in the background through the movie?  Why no follow up to that, guys?
• Is it me or does this "interview" seem like it was either done on IM or while they chased him down the hall at the school before Security showed up...?

I'm surprised he composed the music, I would have thought Wiseau had done the music, he did everything else!
